The Centre of Contemporary Art Diatopos presents the first solo exhibition by photographer Emma Louise Charalambous next month titled Amensalism. The exhibition explores the power relations affecting environmental and urban topography in Cyprus. The solo show is divided into two parts and explores the power relations affecting environmental and urban politics in Cyprus. In the first part What’s Up With The Sky the artist adopts a documentary-style approach to explore issues of ecological and sociocultural importance of air pollution. Her work aims to communicate the power structures at play and stress the urgency of taking action to alternate the effects of the crisis.
The exhibition explores the complex relationship between artists and the public, highlighting the role of art as a tool for social commentary and activism. The exhibition features a diverse range of artists, including photographers, filmmakers, and performance artists, all working within the context of urban spaces. The exhibition aims to spark conversations about censorship, power dynamics, and the role of art in challenging societal norms.
